Up-cycled and Embellished Books at Tis Annex in Prescott!
Let’s not call these precious books “Junk Journals!”
June 11, 9:00am - 3:00pm
Let’s create new journals from old books! (Or even new books).
Using a hard-covered book, you will learn how to successfully deconstruct it by removing the text block.
We will then reinforce the spine and create signatures (groups of papers to form the pages).The signatures are not just any old papers: I have a large selection of carefully curated book pages, maps, sheet music, yearbook photos, and more for you to choose from. And of course you might want to bring some of your own to use or share.
Once that’s finished, then it’s time to decide how you want to organize your pages, and we will talk about the various options.
Using a variety of bookbinding tools, I will show you how to stitch in the signatures, and create the inside covers.
Choose a book whose cover you like, as we will not be covering the covers, but rather leaving them as they are, or decorating them.
Once the books are created, I will share some of my favorite ways to embellish the pages, including pockets, tip-ins, tuck spots, and more.
You will leave this workshop with a true, one-of-a-kind treasure book!
Please bring your own bookbinding tools or borrow mine. I will have some kits for purchase for $10.00.
Remember to bring the materials fee of $20.00.
